You suspect that this collaboration with Abrams must have taught Dorst a few things about the nature and creation of fiction. ![]() With S., Abrams is a sort of "novelrunner", having conceived the project but left the prose to someone else: Doug Dorst, a US novelist and creative writing tutor. On programmes such as Lost and Alias, Abrams operated as what American TV calls a "showrunner", overseeing every decision and episode but not writing every episode himself. And I say "come up with", rather than "written", because one of the conventions challenged is that of authorship. Abrams, though, has come up with a novel of such structural daring that the first task of the audience is to work out a way of reading it. ![]()
